Martyn looked up at Will scared but then to Rue who held her hand out for him. "I-I w-w-was trying to f-f-f-find m-my fr-friends... I-I was a-alone s-stuck in a library... a-and I f-found them here." he quickly took Rues hand and got up hiding behind her in fear of Will creating a barrier around himself and her quickly in more of a gut reaction than anything. "I-I c-could ask the same t-thing monster"
"U-Uh... Ace... do you have any clothing that I could possibly borrow? Mine were destroyed in the bombing... I promise to wash and return them as soon as I possibly can and replace my own clothing as soon as I can so then I won't continue to inconvenience you in such a way." I said. “Of course.” Ace responded with friendly smile as he fiddled with his shirt buttons. “You’re free to use any of the clothes in my room.”Ace produced a silver key. "This will get you into most of the doors in the house." --- Purple lightning streaked across the sky followed by the clouds rapidly changing colors from marshmallow to the color of black smoke rising in the sky. The small bits of drip drop of rain beginning and winds raising. This sudden change in weather was noticed quickly by plenty on the island and both workers in shops and students flocked outside to gaze upon the strangeness occurring in the skies. A surge of magical energy coursed through the Island felt clear enough to be felt by any mage who even had a sliver of talent. Power.... Massive of amounts of it were being pulled from the ley lines moving through the grounds.
I took the key and bowed politely. "Thank you very much." I said. With that, I went back into his room and grabbed a plain white T-shirt and a pair of jeans that were about my size and then blushed as I opened up his underwear drawer. "Alright, only for today, I'll use what little money I have and purchase some of my own, I'll get some while I'm out." I thought, I quickly grabbed a pair and shut it quickly, feeling embarrassed, and then found his sock drawer and grabbed a pair of plain white socks. I then looked around for the bathroom. Once I found it I went inside and sighed in relief when I saw towels hanging by the shower. I quickly showered, grateful to wash away last night's dirt, blood, and grime. I wished the memories were as easy to get rid of though. I dried myself off and put on Ace's clothing, then went on the dry the inside of the shower. I walked out of the bathroom and found the laundry room. I dropped my dirty clothing and towel into the hamper. I'd wash them as soon as I got back, but I had a few things to do. First, I'd go to the school and look for everyone and check in with the library about the books I had checked out and were subsequently destroyed in the blast. Then, if I found them, I'd try to help with finding them a place to stay for the time being. Then, I'd take my five dollars and get some new underwear so I didn't have to keep borrowing Ace's. Then, I'd go to Churchill Street and check out Ace's magical practice room and try to figure out how to make some money, I'm sure I could help people with alchemy, I could earn some money, and learn a valuable skill. Finally, I'd return home, clean up the house and make dinner for me and Ace. It's the least I could do, he's already helping me so much already. "I'm leaving for the day, I'll see you later." I called out as I walked out of the front door, after figuring out where I was, I made my way toward the school.
Will looked Martyn over. His shaking. His stuttering. His defensive reaction to Will's rather normal behavior. Not to mention this boy's obvious lack of social graces. Will had seen this all before. IT was pretty common back in England. "You're a shy one, huh?" Will considered for a moment if Will could be of any use "I guess there's no reason to beat your ass, but you're gonna be helping me fix this place up a little if you want to stay here. You're no good for selling product and you'd probably make a shitty body guard." Will picked up an ancient looking sweat rag which was hanging over the railing of the boxing ring "Your first job is cleaning windows. So get to cleaning windows." He said, throwing the rag at Martyn. Will had no time to deal with nervous people, and already didn't like Martyn. Just then, the light from the windows darkened significantly, and the air cooled a little bit. Despite the comfort the slight drop in temperature brought, an eerie chill ran up Mikkish's spine. Same with Will. And with Bob. Will looked out the window to see the sky, clear bright and beautiful only a moment ago, now full of black, ominous looking clouds, unlike any rain clouds Will had ever seen before, though he couldn't figure out exactly what made these clouds so different. "Hmm. Well what the fuck is this? Didn't see clouds anywhere in the distance on the way here." Will said, suddenly concerned that if it began pouring, water would surely leak from the various holes in the ceiling. "Everyone! Look for something to catch rain! Check the janitors closet!"
Jinx stood just inside the hospital, her arms crossed as she looked out at the rainy skies. She shivered, the feeling of raw magical power overwhelmingly apparent. She felt as if she could unleash a graveyard of corpses to do her bidding. She gripped the beautiful, but savagely torn dress that barely was staying on. Alex was just about to say something when she turned giving him an ere of nonchalance, “Done now?” He paused, stating reluctantly, ”Yes, we still want you to return to the station and give a comment on the shooter, but we can’t force you. Do you want me to drive you home?” Jinx turned back to look at the rain,”No. I want my bike. I assume it isn’t hear though..” He shook his head, shoving his hands in his pockets, “Nah, it’s back at the station. You should be able to pick it up, when we start to get your records put back to normal. Are you sure you don’t need a ride?” She closed her black swollen eyes, wanting ardently for a ride, but seeming as she knew the neighbourhood, a cop would spark attention and cause trouble for the locals. Better just suck it up now and walk. Mikkish has clothes for you there anyway. She spoke quietly,”No..I’ll be alright.” He came up and put a warm jacket over my shoulders,”Well at least take this. It’s freezing out there, and you’ll get hypothermia in that skimpy cloth.” She smiled shoving her hands into the jacket, the smell of the cops cologne wafting into her nose. It was nice, homey. She did up the buttons and threw up the hood, “Thanks..I’ll give this back to you tomorrow. I appreciate you helping me out, see ya..Alexander.” She gave him a small smile, then headed out into rain, her eyes returning to a pure white, as she began to search for her small troupe of undead compatriots. --------------------------------------- After a few hours, Jinx stared up at the large dilapidated gym with disgust. Her body was soaked from head to toe, but she found what she was looking for. She raised her palm, and the four large corpses that she collected ran around the back stationing themselves around the area. She then walked into the gym, her body covered in soaked bandages and thick black bruises. She was still hot, but looked like a zombie herself with her pale skin and soaked black hair. She shut the door quickly, a weariness coming over her. She lifted up a paper bag and gave a smile,"I brought vodka!"
"Hoh?... so you have a thing for abandoned houses? didn't saw it coming" said the red haired girl while entering through the window of the gym, or more likely jumping through it. She landed over one knee and a feet, in what seemed to be a very "gymnastic" like entrance. "By the way, I was busy doing something so used a bit of magic to track all of you, then I saw a wounded Jinx entering through the door in such a badass way, I couldn't afford that, so I had to enter through the window practicing my magnificient athletic jump, I expect from you to give me a nice score" said Hikaru as if someone had asked or even cared about it. The girl shaked her soaked hair and then asked. "Sooo, what's the plan? I expect that such little detail as the explosion hadn't scare you. We still have a killer and a bike thief to hunt down"
I turn my attention to the storm outside. Whatever was going on it probably wasn't natural by the look of it. That eerie feeling and the purple lightning hinted heavily to that. But seems like a couple people didn't really care. One being Will demanding that we find things to stop the leaks. With how many there were I doubt he had enough buckets. I sigh heavily and began looking for a closet. When I found one I would step behind it as I opening it. I wouldn't be surprised if rats snakes or even bats scurried out of that thing. I then step around the door looking inside searching. Then when the door open I glance over to see both Jinx and then Hikaru came inside. "Plan? Hah. No plan so far by the looks of it. And wooh vodka!" I grab some bucket out of the closet and place it under one of the leaks. Thinking a moment I grab one of the broken benches that seemed to be leaning and attempted to use it to guide another drip into the same bucket. I then walk over towards Jinx looking her up and down. "Damn. There a guy we gotta bash?"
"Hey! Jinx! Whats up?" Mikkish said, approaching Jinx with a grin across his face "And I see you brought me something to quench my thirst." He said, as he took the bottle out of her hand, opened it, and took a shot straight from the container. He then set the bottle down on what was once the sign-in counter, uncapped, and looked at Hikaru. "Damn, you know there's a front door, right?" Mikkish asked. A rhetorical question "You're right though, we gotta catch that killer." Mikkish turned back to Jinx "You say you think you know who the sniper is?" Will just couldn't believe this. They were having a reunion as rain poured into the gym. And Mikkish, Jinx, and whoever else were allowing the place to be flooded, after he had so generously offered them a home. "Ah for fucks sake!" Will shouted "Would you guys pay attention to whats going on around you? We are gonna wind up spending like 4 hours cleaning this shit up." This was the best place he had found to squat in, and he didn't quite love the idea of it being flooded. "You guys aren't going after the killer now anyway. Look at that shit outside. Doesn't look very fucking pleasant, does it?" But Mikkish was either ignored him, or was so unfocused on what Will had to say that he didn't notice that Will was bitching...again. "We also got to figure out a plan once we catch this sniper dude. And we gotta avoid getting sniped right between the eyes." Mikkish said, not even looking at Will.
"....What is it with people and ruining my chances at getting a drink?" I couldn't help but grumble seeing Mikkish drinking straight from the bottle. Like hell I was gonna drink any of that once it's touched his mouth. Will behind us even started complaining literally too himself since no one else was paying attention at the moment....Did he not see me working on a few of the drip problems? There's no way this place has enough containers to catch every drip. With the griping lack of drink and gloomy weird weather outside, it all pulled together to make a huge migraine in my head. I turn around and start looking back through the closet to see what else I could scrounge up as containers. The closet probably didn't have much else to offer so I begrudgingly turn towards the complaining Will. "Dude we're never gonna get every drip covered. Just look. Unless you happen to have a secret stash of buckets or bowls we're gonna have to deal with wet floors."
Jinx gave Rue a wide smile, feeling happy to see a friendly face, before she began to undo her buttons on Alex's jacket,"Oh believe me Rue, the man who did this deserves nothing more then being ink for my blood red pen." She pulled off the jacket to expose the skimpy dress that showed off a thick-pink coloured bandage that wove around her waist and more cuts that peeked out through the red fabric. She gave Mikkish a smile,"Apart from losing all of my wealthy possessions and looking like a wasted hooker. Not much." She sighed moving towards the counter where she opened a cupboard to find a few small trophies. She blew off some of the dust then poured the vodka and pushed one to Rue. She brought the cup to her lips and chugged it down before pouring another. She leaned against the counter and rested her head on her arms before giving Mikkish a sexy smirk,"If you want me to be purely blunt. Yes, I think I do. He looks like Tom Selleck in my opinion and has a weapon, that is way before his time. The shot he made was incredible, and rare. I know it sounds impossible but both shots were so clean." She turned to the others and filled them in quickly about her experience with the ghost in the graveyard,"Otherwise...not much information gained from the undead. By the way, Will this place is beautiful. Not a dead soul in sight." She pulled another trophy and poured a quick shot before handing it to Will,"Relax, comrade. If you need a cleaning crew in the morning, I can help you out with some...muscle." Jinx took another sip of her vodka and chuckled heartily, already feeling better,"Now Meekesh...Can I have those clothes?"
Will absolutely petrified Martyn and slightly recoiled back when the rag was thrown at him expecting something big and bad to happen seeing the storm and looked worried and panicked as the rain started falling quietly and looked for something to hold the water in fear that will would choke him again. "w-we re-really should stop this rain..." he muttered. "this isn't natural... and could be very very dangerous to us."
"Clothes?" Mikkish asked, confused "What clothes?" Mikkish wasn't even just playing stupid to get out of being bitched at. He had really forgotten about the discussion with Jinx about her clothes. Just then, the sky roared with thunder again. Surely they had all heard the sound of thunder before, but this menacing growl was unlike any they had heard. Mikkish paused. Bill's head immediately snapped upward in shock, and hell, even Will had stopped his bitching when he heard it. "Ya know..." Mikkish started, breaking out of his pause "This place is like...a magic island. This fucking rainstorm came out of nowhere, and I'm sort of getting this "Armageddon" feeling from it. You guys think there might possibly be some weird magic that controls weather? Caus if that's the case, I say we go look for whoever's doing this and, ya know, fuck him up a bit?" Will looked around at the ceiling, as did Bill. Both looked as if someone or something terrible could come crashing through the roof and tear them in half any minute "I wouldn't write that off as impossible, but you got to admit that sounds a bit crazy." Will said, his voice noticeably lowering. It was truly strange. He seemed to have forgotten about the holes in the ceiling and the water trickling in from outside.
I give off a short laugh and walk over taking the trophy and take a drink of the vodka. "True that is one hell of a nasty storm out there. Seems like both Martyn and Mikkish seem to be on the same page if that was at all possible. What's even worse is I agree with them both. If the purple lightning and that loud as hell thunder.....well if you can call it that, didn't hint it off but yeah probably magical. I still don't know nearly anything about real magic but in a book or a game this would mean some real shit is going on and probably will get worse." I say before taking another sip of the vodka.
NEW CHALLENGER! The sun beat down on the boat. John sat in his deck chair, comfortably, a glass of coke in his hand, basking in the warmth and pleasure. A pleasant breeze accompanied the sun, flapping the passengers air in the wind. They were soon there. Indeed, the outline of the island could be seen. Gotha island, with it's mountains and lush forests. He was looking forward to having some fun. Of course, he would not only have fun: he had joined Merlinus University to study magic. He already knew some things from some unorthodox books he'd found, though he was worried he might not be on par with the other students on this boat. "Well, here we are," he thought, "At last." The boat sailed the last leagues of turquoise water to the port of Gotha. Most people were going about their business, but a few residents, probably siblings of the newcomers, stood at the port waiting. "Right folks, ready to disembark?" asked the captain, arriving on the deck. The others started to get up and leave, though John stayed a few minuets more to enjoy the sun. "Not getting off?" asked the captain, prompting John to get up, grab his things and leave. The people around him looked worried, and despite greeting their siblings and friends with hugs sported panicked faces. Some talked in hushed whispers. What was going on? John shrugged it off. He'd soon find out. He approached two men who were walking down the beach. "Excuse me. Could you point me to the Merlinus University?" he said. "Yep," replied the man, "It's fairly straightforward." John barely listened to the man's instructions. He was entrapped in the wonders of the city. Overhead a pack of seagulls squawked and flew around, the crash of the waves could be heard, the bustle of people and activity. "Thanks," said John, turning back to the men. The other man, who had remained silent, spoke up. "Or, you know, you could just look for a building with a fucking hole blown in it." "Hole?" said John worriedly, but the man just gave him an odd look and walked off, following his friend. What the actual fuck is going on? John half-walked, half-ran, following the instructions. He soon arrived, somehow, to the front gates of it. Here it was, Merlinus University. Sure enough, one of the bulidings near it had a hole blown in it. I had walked all the way back to the academy in silence. Last night had been horrible... I didn't want to see that destruction again so soon. But I had to do two things, first, I had to see if the others were alright, I hadn't managed to ascertain everyone's whereabouts at the time of the bombing, I knew we were all planning to meet up at that club last night... but I couldn't stand it and left early. The second thing I had to do was learn how much I owed the library. While the explosion wasn't my fault, it was still my duty to ensure that the books got back to the library in a decent condition, I would pay back whatever I owed them, it might take a while, but I'd do my best. As I reached the school's gate I noticed a boy standing there. "Oh... I wonder if he's a new student... or a relative to someone that died last night... by the looks of it, I'd have to say student, he has luggage and he doesn't show any signs of grief." I thought, I took a deep breath and worked up the courage to speak to him. "E-Excuse me... is there something t-that I can help you with?" I asked as I played with my locket nervously. John was looking at the university as a guy approached. He was very tall, towering over his own 5'7, and looked quite nervous. Ah, does he know anything? "Hi," John replied, "anything you can help me with? Well, what the hell is going on right now?" "...I'm guessing that you're a new student... oh... this isn't good..." I mumbled nervously. "I have some very bad news for you... l-last night the dorms were bombed... in light of that, the school has been closed down temporarily, they aren't supplying students with shelter... I-I'm very sorry that you had to come all this way and learn that." I said, I bowed apologetically. John frowned, "Oh. I didn't know this." No shelter? Christ. Where was he meant to stay now? Damn, on his first day too. This did not bode well. He looked at the fellow student and offered out his hand. "Name's John. Any idea where I can get some shelter?" I looked at his hand and shook it. "J-Joseph, but you can just call me Joe... and I'm sorry, but I don't know anywhere you could stay... I'm staying with a friend myself, I'm sure that there are hotels around that you could stay in, but knowing a normal student's income, it isn't likely you'd be able to stay there until the dorms are repaired and the maniac behind it is caught..." I said "Yeah, I guess I'll find a hotel..." John lied. He didn't have anywhere enough money. He could probably sleep on the beach or something. "Alri-" I cut off mid-sentence as I saw them again... chains. They shot from the wall next to us and ground beneath him. They pierced through his flesh... once again centering around the heart... I did my best to keep my expression neutral... but I still wasn't used to seeing such a gruesome scene before me... the bloody chains working their way back into the wall or ground, constantly moving through his body, carrying away flesh and bone, only to stick to the wall or hit the pavement with a sickening splat, my face paled and I felt bile rising to my throat. "It's not real..." I thought, I knew what the chains symbolized at this point. This boy was lying to me. "You alright?" asked John, looking at the expression of sheer horror on Joe's face. He seemed to be looking around John rather than straight at him, and had stopped talking suddenly. "...Sorry... I'm just not feeling well, I'm fine, I assure you, I'm sorry for the predicament that you find yourself in and I wish that I could help, but unfortunately it's out of my power to do so." I said, I bowed politely. "I must take my leave now, please have a nice day." I said, with that I quickly went through the school's gate and then paused. "...Wait... hotel..." I mumbled, I suddenly turned around. "I know where you can go." I said. I wanted to get away from that gruesome scene as soon as possible, but if I could help him, I would. "I know you said that you'll just go to a hotel... but I'm sure that with a student's income, it's unlikely they'd be able to stay in a hotel for an indefinite amount of time. But I can recommend a hotel... though it's currently abandoned, but it has been claimed and it's being renovated... you might be able to stay there. But, you may have to join a group called the Fraternity, you may have to help renovate, but at least you'll have a roof over your head." I said. "Sounds good", replied John, and they walked off. I walked in silence, I didn't want him to ask about my little freak out back there. Soon we were only a street away from the hotel... then the sky darkened and purple lightning streaked through the air. "W-What the...?" I mumbled, I felt... magic, it was the only thing I could think of to describe the power I was feeling flowing around us... it was flowing in a certain direction... something was going on... something big. Then it occurred to me... last night, the bombing... what if it's main point wasn't to kill people... but to hide a certain event. The book... Mikkish's book... the one he's so protective about... what that mysterious person wanted so much... it was definitely something powerful, something dangerous in the wrong hands... the book might've been stolen last night and the explosion was used to cover it so then Mikkish wouldn't go around telling anyone about it. He was protective about that thing, if it were to have gone missing, he would have no choice but to seek help and reveal the book's existence. If an explosion were to occur, then Mikkish would think his book was destroyed and wouldn't go out telling everyone about it. So that means... Whoever's doing this may have his book. I turned to John. "Please forgive me, but I must be going, it's that building over there." I said gesturing to the hotel, I bowed and then rushed off toward where I felt the magic being directed, knowing that's where the user must be. They were drawing magic to themselves for something huge. Something that I knew wouldn't be good for anyone.
Martyn looked at the rain and nodded. "Rue and Mikkish have a point... we s-should stop whatever is causing this really bad weather if we don't we will be flooded... this is all magical... I'm s-sure of it." He says scared he didn't want his only chances of being safe ruined even if it was not the greatest weather.
Jinx was about to say something quite nasty when the thunder burst, and she raised her eyes to the sky in weary protest. She walked over to the bottle and gulped down three large straight chugs. She could feel the burn run down her throat, and the dizzy feel of alcohol mull through her. "Well...if you are all so hellbent on this fine..hahahaha. I..I...need some..uh...clothes...first...good sirs..and Nue.." She took the bottle and headed towards a dusted doorway that had a ladies sign above it. She opened the door and walked into a shower/locker room. She hoped that someone would have left something behind. As she looked throughout the locker she came across a black sports bra and a pair of gym shorts that seemed to be long for a size 2. Jinx growled kicking the locker before heading back into the main gym,"NOPE! NOT A DAMN THING! I....think the dress will suffice. Thanks to you Meekessss." Setting the bottle on the table, Jinx walked over to pick up her jacket, her body swaying slightly as she put her palm on her forehead,"Oh I shouldn't have done that...Nope...Nope...Too much...went overboard a bit." Jinx moved to a chair and sunk down, running her hands through her hair, before sitting up and looking at the group with a slight tilt,"Are we gonna go?"
Will gave a sigh "I can't believe anyone would come here voluntarily. You guys came for...a school? Fuck. Whats wrong with a regular ass university?" Will was right. In just a little over a week, they had witnessed a few murders, killed cops, almost been killed a couple times themselves, and now this storm being caused by some malevolent force of magic. And now, as they were about to find the source of the storm, even more danger lurked nearby. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “I hold high expectatives from thee” Said a voice in the middle of the sky. Its origin was uncertain, it was a female voice, not too acute, neither too deep, a beautiful familiar voice that seemed not to exist within this realm but from another place. “Hath thou finally casted me away? Then …. Why is that I can’t be freed from thee?... What hath thou really done to me?” proclaimed in the sky. And then a figure formed, something almost spectral yet clearly solid. It was a woman, probably on its late teens to early twenties. Her eyes shone in gold and her hair was of an intense red. She was dressed on a pure white formless mass that was slowly taking shape while it moved through the sky. The figure wasn’t flying, more likely she was jumping from building to building, and on the process that she moved her form was becoming more clear, finally showing black jeans, a blue blouse and a red scarf around her neck perfectly matching the figure of the one who was currently in the gym. ----------------------- “Give me a bit of that!” exclaimed Hikaru while taking the bottle away from Jinx. “This is a cheap vodka, why did you brought a so cheap vodka you cheap-o, stupid” said while taking a big sip from it, unaware of the being, her “spectral twin” that was lamenting herself. --------------------------------- “Where are thee?... give me the bless of freedom. Cut away the chains, I beg it to you, where are thee?” cried the woman at the same moment her figure was being engulfed into what seemed to be a white flame, and then each step she took to jump from one building to another, was the spark of a small fire on said building’s rooftop, a small but meaningful fire that weren’t be contained by the heavy rain of that day it would had engulfed completely the buildings she stepped on. ----------------------------------- A certain time had passed and Hikaru was already under the sweet effect of alcohol. “And… that’ts why I teeeell you….. never, evaa, evaa, evvaaaa, promise pizza to a faking retaarded, it suuucks, trust me.” And then the figure who followed the presence of her “twin in appearance” was now a square away from the gym. “I can see thee, I can feel thee, I can almost touch thee. Why hath thou chained me. Thou promised me freedom, I promised thee power. I granted thee the power, then how is that thee hath not give me the freedom?” The now solid figure raised an arm, her palm open toward the gym. Her eyes filled with tears. “I..I… didn’t want to cast ‘tis upon thee, but thou hath abandoned me…. Forgive me my dearest on” mumbled Her body flames intensified and focused on the palm, then from it the fire crossed through the sky ignoring the heavy rain and impacted the gym, engulfing it on flames. “Forgive me cursed one”…. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Fuck!" Mikkish yelled, as flames suddenly sprung up all over. By the second, more and more of the building was being taken over by the fire. "I'm getting outta here!" Mikkish said, jogging over to the doors "No!" Will shouted "We need to put out this fire!" "Fuck you." Mikkish shouted back, opening the doors, which were not yet coated with the intensely hot fire, but soon would be. And when sparks burst from the flames which were crawling quickly up the walls and smacked Will in the face, Bill quickly followed Mikkish "Ah for fucks sake." Will said, reluctantly walking out of the gym
Jinx looked up at Hikaru with annoyance, as she took a few sips and was already slurring. She was about to speak up when her pupil and iris began to dry to a dead white. One of her corpses animated to attention as she watched this new being enter her space through a single dead eye. She curved her head to the side, listening to the woman speak through the corpse when suddenly she noted the fire heading towards the gym. She panicked her body filling with spasms as the corpses removed themselves from their hiding spots and darted out of the way. The one on the roof hit the pavement hard enough to snap his femur. He kept running as if it was a paper cut. Jinx stood still as she guided her children away, ignoring Mikkish and Will's departure. When she came back to her own consciousness she sighed, looking at the flame that began to surround her,"I FUCKING HATE THIS ISLAND!" She walked up quickly to Hikaru and ripped the vodka out of her hands before taking a chug and lightly tossing it behind her to incite more flames. She held her breath easily enough as her eyes turning a slight pink as she walked up to a metal bar with one side carrying a 25 pound weight. She grabbed the bar with slight tension and perched it over her shoulder before walking slowly out, the flames nipping at her new coat and pale bruised legs. She clenched her fists and cracked her knuckles as she let out the air. The effects of the alcohol were still warm in her throat and the buzz was strong, but she could be serious if need be. Hell she was Russian. The first sip of vodka she tasted was at the age of two, unknown to her mother's knowledge of course. She didn't panic either as she looked up at the gym engulfed in flames,"Shame...one of the rare places death has not touched." She stood by Mikkish looking up to the roof where the fire-throwing bitch was. She took a step forward and shouted in a loud Russian tone her hair already beginning to sink in towards her face,"YOU STUPID SON OF A MOTHERFUCKER! COME DOWN HERE AND FIGHT ME LIKE A WOMAN, YOU FLAME THROWING BITCH! NOT ONLY DID YOU JUST RUIN MY PLACE OF SANCTUARY. YOU ATTACKED MY FRIENDS. AND MEEKESH! THAT EARNS YOUR DEATH. NOW COME AND MEET IT QUICKLY!" Jinx was in a rage, as now seeming to be the usual. Her eyes blazed a vicious white, as she stood stock still waiting for a reply.
The red haired figure who was now in a fully physical appearance noticed Jinx's challenge. Her body vanished completely, not letting a trace and it reformed once again, this time in front of Jinx. Her face was exactly like Hikaru's, however her eyes were of a shining gold. The woman examinated Jinx and then said to herself. "Thy are not the one.... then why is that thee cause me such discomfort?" She raised her arm dressed in the same fashion that Hikaru yet with a difference. The woman wore a black glove with three rings, one shone while her hand engulfed into flames. Then with a swift movement she waved her arm hitting Jinx's face with her open palm with such strenght that her body was sent flying a few meters away. "Where are thee?...." asked the woman and it was then when Hikaru after noticing the event came to face the figure, even while slightly drunk she noticed that something strange was going on. "HUH'....what... what in the holy fuck?" asked the girl dumbfounded in front of her twin. The woman's eyes shone again while examinating Hikaru. "There thee are!" exclaimed. "Please, grant me freedom. Please fulfill thy promise" said while raising her arm focusing fire again on its palm. "I ask thee, please don't make me to be thy executor" Hikaru quickly realized that this meant trouble and dashed at a side before the fire impacted her, avoiding her attack which impacted a differnt building this time. "Heeey, can someone explain meeee..... the fuck si thi....." yet before she could finish the phrase the girl received the effect of the sudden movement after a dosis of alcohol and was now puking.
Jinx hid her shock at the woman's teleportation, and glared at her as she spoke. She was about to say something rude when she was sent flying out of the way, whilst dropping her new found weight. She closed her eyes preparing for impact when strong arms of her zombies clutched her and set her down before she almost hit by an oncoming taxi. Jinx swore, her eyes going from a white to a deadly blue as she ran up, grabbing the bar and twisting it vertically in a circular motion, like a scythe, and then with all her strength caught the new woman underneath the chin with the 25 pound weight and knocked her clear away from Hikaru,"I AM NOT...so easy to ignore bitch." She stood protectively in front of Hikaru, and spoke softly,"Cheap shit my ass Hikaru. My Vodka is 80 proof, you're lucky your not passed out drunk by now."
I had sighed relaxing inside with the trophy full of vodka until I was scared out of my mind from a sudden crash of odd fire everywhere causing me to spill my drink. "Godamnit!" I yelled. I would have found it humorous how Will wanted us to put all the fire out of this long screwed up building if it weren't for the immediate danger of fire. I would quickly rush out of the gym holding my arms up to protect my face if any fire flicked it's burning ethereal flames towards me. I give out a sigh of relief being outside of the flaming gym before it was cut short as I saw the next immediate danger......Hikaru's twin? Or it looked to be. Damn it fuck this island I shouldn't have come here. I thought really wishing I had my knife though I knew it wouldn't do me any good here it would just have been a comfort. I stand off trying to keep a so-so distance from this 'twin' of Hikaru's. Like hell I'm going to stand next to another pyromaniac. She seemed to be wanting freedom by what she's saying but a few thoughts entered my mind. How is she locked up when she's standing here? And there are several easier ways to get someones attention besides burning down the building they're in. "What is it with the people in this island?" I say giving out an exasperated sigh.
Martyn was sitting down when the fire started spreading he panicked seeing the fire spread quite a bit as he was starting to cover himself again in a massive barrier to make sure he's safe as he ran for the nearest exit that wasn't on fire as he jumped through the doors seeing the girl confused still having the barrier starting to cry a little. "...W-why me... w-why d-does th-this all happen to me? t-this island..." he started crying louder getting away from the building as soon as possible. "...I want to go home..." He had the barrier tight around him scared.
The twin received the brutal impact from Jinx's improvised weapon. It sent her body flying several meters into air which revealed her weight to be abnormally low. However in the middle of the air it bursted into flames completely vanishing just at she had done before, and as before it reformed behind Jinx, no visible wound on her face as she simply reformed her mass. The figure readied her hand to made the body of the girl explode into fire and would had been succesful had not been stopped by Hikaru who simply threw a rock to distract her. "Watch out!" she exclaimed, and then her twin fixated on her again. "Are thou trying to bring me end? Why is that? We are bound by a promise!" exclaimed, her unnatural and spectral voice echoed through the sky.
Jinx flinched as the girl disappeared and then could feel heat rising behind her. She shivered, unable to move out of the way before Hikaru stopped her twin. Jinx swung her new weapon around and hooked the steel bar underneath the woman's chin. She grunted her eyes a vicious blue, as she ripped her heel back and kicked directly into the center of the girls back. She then pullled forward, causing the bar to pull the girl over her body and onto the ground. She then rolled the bar around her own neck and gripped it with her other hand as she looked at Hikaru,"Thanks..You saved my ass back there." She turned her sunken and bruised eyes to the new girl, "I don't know what the fuck you are! But I have a general rule never to trust something without a soul. They either can't die, or they can't live properly. What do you want with Hikaru and who sent you?"
Now that was brutal thought Hikaru thanking the fact she never picked up a fight with that girl. Even while drunk she realized the bizarre nature of this event, and although she doubted that woman could actually give a proper reply to Jinx, even if she did the main question in her head would still remain. Why does she look exactly like me?... Who is she? As expected, the figure bursted again and vanished, she reformed her body in mid air. Her glance completely ignored Jinx's presence and instead it was looking at Hikaru with teary eyes, a face full of grief and sadness, but of an unnatural source, a lamentation that no human could comprehend. "Why hath thee abandoned me?" asked while crying. Her speech continued in a bizarre fashion, each sentence stopped by a burst of flames emanating from her body that flied to the sky and disappeared on it "Why are thee forcing me to create such chaos?" "Can't thou simply surrender thy soul to me?" "Can't thou just cease to exist? That was our promise" "Instead thy hath chosen to put chains on me." Her figure descended and landed softly on the ground. "Instead thy hath forced me to erradicate my prime one, that causes me such painful grief" Instead of one arm, she raised both this time, instead of simply generating fire within herself she absorbed all the surrounding fire that covered the buildings and ground in the area. One thing was sure, her next attack would be something of a whole different level. "......." Yet she did nothing, instead she twisted her head now fixated onto Jinx. "Who are thee?... why am I feeling such disturbance from thee?" Her figure vanished and formed again in front of Jinx. "Are thou surrounded by grief?" asked the woman. "uUUG...gggh..." groaned and then it fell over her knee as if she were feeling deep pain. Yet she didn't, she couldn't feel a physical pain, instead she was feeling something different, a disturbance within her own being generated simply by the presence of Jinx. It wasn't so strong, yet the more heated was the girl by the flow of combat the stronger the effect Hikaru's "twin" felt. "Wh...why... thou my prime one can't... feel the same as I?..." asked as she looked at Hikaru. "Who are thee?..." asked once again.
